Pleasant Hill Baptist Revival Begins Sunday

I will be preaching my first revival meeting for 2010 beginning this Sunday. This will also be my first revival meeting since undergoing hip surgery in November.  I can tell that I am not "operating" at 100%, but I'm making more progress each day.  I hope you will pray, not only for the Lord to move mightily in the services, but for safe travel and the physical strength needed to complete the task to which He has called me.

The services will be held at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church in Bushnell, Florida. The services will begin at 11am Sunday, February 21, 2010 and continue that evening at 6pm; and Monday-Wednesday, February 22-24, 2010 at 7pm nightly.

Bibles Needed for Ghana Village Ministry

The Ghana Ministry Coordinator for James Croft Evangelistic Association, Evangelist Raphael Adjei Kingbi is now serving as pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana in Bimbilla, located in the Northern Region of Ghana.  He was transferred to the church several months ago from Teshie in the Greater Accra Region of the West Afican country.  The area he is serving is comprised of several villages.

One of the needs in his ministry is Bibles for the congregation and those he visits and evangelizes.  We take having access to a Bible for granted, but in his area there are in short supply.  The JCEA is preparing to begin a collection of Bibles for use in Evangelist Ralph's ministry.  We will also be accepting donations to purchase Bibles and cover shipping costs.  Additional details will be posted on this site as they become available.  If you would like to contribute to assist with this program visit our Ghana Ministry page on on the JCEA website and look for the donation link at the bottom of the page.

Please be in prayer for Evangelist Ralph as he serves in this new area of ministry, and in an area far from his hometown.  Also, pray for his wife and two children as they are still residing and attending school in Teshie.  He has certainly been faithful to leave his comfort zone for the cause of Christ!

Evangelist Ralph is now on Facebook.  He has established a profile on the popular social networking site.  If you are on Facebook I'm sure he would love to hear from you.
